Courses for Clinical & Care Teams
Clinical and care work is complex, emotionally demanding and difficult to leave at the door. Yet care teams are often trained to look after everyone else, but rarely taught to look after themselves or each other.
Across three tiers (respond, recover and rebuild), our training gives your teams the practical skills to support patients in crisis with confidence, process what the work leaves behind and build a culture that sustains them for the long term.

What our clients say
Trusted by our clients. Proven by their experience.
Olivia from Changing Minds Training delivered an excellent stress management masterclass during our team meeting. She explained stress in a way that made it easy to understand and relatable, helping the team better recognise how stress can affect us. She also shared simple, practical strategies for managing stress in everyday life.
The session was highly engaging, with the team interacting well and feeling comfortable enough to share some of their own experiences. It created a supportive and open atmosphere, and the feedback from everyone was very positive. Thank you, Olivia, for such an informative and valuable session. It was greatly appreciated by everyone at Right at Home.
Olivia delivered a passionate and informative [bespoke] training program on mental health. She openly shared her past experiences and pitfalls, which made the session both authentic and impactful. Her honesty, knowledge, and engaging approach created a supportive learning environment and provided valuable insights for everyone involved.
I greatly valued Olivia as a trainer for mental health first aid training. She was able to provide definition for concepts that are difficult to describe, and able to provide clear instructions on how to implement a first aid triage protocol. Highly recommended to anybody seeking mental health first aid training (and in general to learn more about mental health concepts).
We started off with a small group of our HR and L&D employees and have since had a number of other individuals across different levels attend either a bespoke to MD Group session or join one of the online public courses. The online learning portal makes it simple for learners to know where they are up to with the pre course work and the live session compliment this well. Feedback from those individuals that have been through this course has always been really positive and how much of a lasting impact Olivia’s training and style has had and how this has helped in their role of a company MHFA.
I recently completed Suicide First Aid training delivered by Olivia-Louise Hamilton and Changing Minds Training. Olivia was excellent – knowledgeable, approachable and compassionate throughout the course. She created a safe and supportive environment that made it easy to engage with such an important and sensitive topic, while explaining the skills and information in a clear and practical way. I found the training incredibly valuable and would highly recommend it.
Olivia has been instrumental in changing minds and shaping our wellbeing culture through her supportive, nurturing, and inspiring approach. Her masterclasses create a safe space for colleagues to reflect, learn, and grow, combining genuine empathy with practical tools that make a lasting difference. Through her passion for wellbeing, her lived experience, and her ability to connect with people on a personal level, she has helped break down stigma, encouraged open conversations, and fostered a culture where people feel valued, supported, and able to thrive. Her impact extends far beyond the sessions she delivers, leaving a lasting legacy in how we care for ourselves, each other and our organisation.
